Over the week following the gallery opening, Jenny had messages from numerous heroes asking for photos. Lucas and Jenny were booked solid. The hours shifted and they worked until nearly ten at night six days a week.
""Jen, you have a five o''clock with Plastic Man"" Lucas s Jen Jenny had just opened a bottle of water and sat down.
""What time is it now?"" Jenny asked.
""4:45"" Lucas replied. ""You''re supposed to meet him at the Botanical Garden.""
""Damn"" Jenny said. She got up and started getting her things ready. ""Guess I gotta go.""
""I''ll start developing the Legionaires'' photos"" Lucas said. Jenny nodded and was out the door. She still hadn''t gotten hold of Batman. She had given Commissioner Gordon a letter to give to Batman. He had given it to him, but Batman was stingy.
The two-hour session with Plastic Man went by fast. Jenny got there, he did some stretching, and soon four rolls of film were shot. Jenny had also brought along a tape recorder. She had plans for writing a book, even though it was more of a back burner sort of thing now.
""When do you think I could pick up some copies?"" Plastic Man asked.
""You''re going to have to give us two weeks"" Jenny said. ""I''ve been booked solid.""
""I bet"" Plastic Man said with a smile. Jenny thanked him for letting her take the photos and left. She was going home early. She had asked for Lucas not to book her anyone after Plastic Man for one simple reason. It was Friday and she had a date.
Jenny dropped the film off at the studio and went home. She entered her apartment and expected Xander to barrel her over. She frowned when she didn''t hear him. She turned on the hall light.
""Xander?"" Jenny called. ""Xander, I''m home.""
She moved into the living room and gasped. Batman was standing next to her couch. Xander wagged his tail but remained by Batman.
""Batman"" Jenny said in a quiet voice.
""I hear you would like a photo"" Batman said. Jenny realized that Batman was petting Xander. She was stuck somewhere between confusion and disbelief. ""Miss Pierce?""
""Huh?"" Jenny said. ""Oh. A photo? Yes. Yeah. A photo."" Jenny went to turn on the living room light, but paused. ""Would you mind if I turned the light on?""
""Go ahead"" Batman said. Jenny turned the light on and gazed at Batman. ""Is something wrong?""
""No"" Jenny said. In truth she was mesmerized. This is the man she had been trying to track down for two months. Now, he just appeared in her apartment. ""I can''t really do anything tonight. I made some plans.""
""This is your chance Miss Pierce"" Batman said. ""I''m not overly photogenic.""
Jenny closed her jaw, which she didn''t realize had been hanging open. She nodded and opened her bag. ""Give me a minute to get ready.""
Batman waited quietly while Jenny put two rolls of film into her coat pocket and loaded a fresh roll into her camera. She pulled out a piece of paper and took a pen from her kitchen counter.
""I need you to sign this"" Jenny said. Batman looked it over and signed. It was a simple release form. Jenny put it into her bag and stood facing Batman. ""Alright. Lets get to work.""
""Any ideas?"" Batman asked. ""Or would you just like to follow me around tonight?""
""I-I would love to follow you around Batman"" Jenny said. ""But, I don''t want to get in your way.""
Batman simply nodded.
They spent their time on the rooftops and in a few various alleys. An hour had passed before they were done. All three rolls had been shot and Jenny had even gotten a few shots of the Batmobile.
""Anything else?"" Batman asked. He had kept his distance from her the entire time.
""Nope, that''s it"" Jenny said winding her film. Batman nodded his head a little.
Batman dropped her off at her apartment and sped off into the night. Jenny ran up the stairs and called Bruce, but only managed to get Alfred.
""Wayne Manor"" Alfred said.
""Hi Alfred, is Bruce there?"" Jenny asked.
""I''m afraid he''s not, miss"" Alfred said. ""He should be back at any time though.""
""Okay"" Jenny said. ""I missed our dinner date. Could you tell him that I''m sorry? Batman stopped by and it was a one chance deal.""
""Yes"" Alfred said. ""I''m sure he won''t mind.""
""Thanks Alfred"" Jenny said. She sat on the couch and rubbed Xander''s head. ""I''m full of ideas, Xander. I think I have a good one.""
Xander just wagged his tail. Jenny flipped her laptop open. She had a new book that was in the works. She stretched her neck, got comfortable, and started to type. She had the phone next to her in case Bruce called.
Jenny woke up with a start when she heard Xander bark. Bruce came into the living room in relaxed clothing, which for him was a pair of brand new jeans and a black turtleneck.
""Bruce?"" Jenny said waking up. Xander excitedly jumped around as Bruce came into the living room. Jenny put her laptop onto the coffee table and stood up. ""Bruce, I''m sor----""
""Alfred told me"" Bruce said. He kissed her forehead. ""I understand."" He put his hands on her hips. ""Batman''s an important guy and I know you wanted his photo.""
Jenny pulled back from him and gave him a questioning look. ""What''s wrong?""
""What do you mean?"" Bruce asked. He pulled her towards him.
""You''re just……weird"" Jenny said. She pushed herself away from him and looked him over. Then, she caught the faintest hint of rose. ""You smell like roses."" She frowned instantly. ""Where have you been?""
Bruce looked at his hands and looked like he was trying to think things through. He thought the smell would go away before he had gotten to the apartment.
""I think that you should leave"" Jenny said crossing her arms. Bruce looked at her as if he was drunk and she was only thing he was trying to focus on. ""Bruce?"" Bruce took a deep breath and swayed, leaning against the wall. ""Bruce?""
""I feel sick"" Bruce said. Jenny went over to him and helped him stand up straight. He leaned into her.
""Do you want to lay down?"" Jenny asked.
""Just for a second"" Bruce said. They plopped onto the couch. Jenny bent over and took Bruce''s shoes off. She scooted away from him and pulled him down so his head was in her lap.
""What happened to you?"" Jenny asked.
""Nothing"" Bruce said. He looked over at her laptop. ""What were you working on?""
""A book"" Jenny said. ""I moved here to be a writer, you know.""
Bruce smiled and closed his eyes. Earlier, after leaving Jenny as Batman, he had run into Poison Ivy. She had managed to spray him with a rose smelling gas before getting away. He had showered, but the smell still remained. Now, he felt like either sleeping or spending the whole night in bed with Jenny.
He chose to sleep.
The next day, Bruce woke up on Jenny''s couch. There was a note on his chest. Bruce groaned and sat up grabbing the note before it fell to the floor.
''Bruce, I had to go to work'' Jenny''s note read. Simple, very simple. Bruce reached for the phone to call Alfred.
""Jen?"" Lucas called. He had just opened one of the various letters that had come in the mail. Jenny came out from the back with freshly cut negatives.
""Yeah?"" Jenny asked.
""You have a weird letter here"" Lucas said. He handed her the heavy linen paper that had the Legionaires'' symbol in the corner in blue foil. She handed him the negatives and read the letter.
She had to read it twice. ""Did you read this?"" Lucas nodded. ""This is from the Legionaires. They want me to spend two months with them.""
""And they''ll pay a hefty price"" Lucas said. ""Are you going to take the job?""
""I don''t know"" Jenny said. The Legionaires wanted two months of photo documentation. Jenny would have to move in with them because they weren''t in Gotham. It also meant that she would probably have to break up with Bruce. ""What''s next on the schedule?""
""You wrote down ''special appointment -- two hours''"" Lucas said. He gave her the negatives and put her letter next to the front desk computer.
""I better get going"" Jenny said. ""This should be the last session I need for my book.""
""What''s your book going to be about?"" Lucas asked. Jenny just smiled. She hadn''t told anyone much about it.
""You''ll see"" Jenny said. She grabbed her stuff and left the studio.
